In medical clinics, millions of patients leave with a diagnosis of “irritable bowel syndrome” (IBS) and are told that their colon is “nervous,” “sensitive,” or “hyper-reactive.” They are advised to avoid stress and take antispasmodics and sedatives. In the Tayyibat System, Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, fiercely attacks this vague diagnosis, considering it a fake label that hides ignorance of the real cause. He explains that the colon is not “nervous” and does not bloat on its own; rather, its owner “puts garbage into it” – white flour, dairy, eggs, legumes – that remains inside for days, ferments, swells, and becomes diseased.

“Irritable Bowel Syndrome”: A Fake Diagnosis for a Real Disease
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, believes that the term “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” (IBS) is one of the most harmful diagnoses in modern medicine, not because it is always incorrect, but because it stops the search for the real cause. When a patient is told their colon is “nervous,” the language suggests the problem is in their nerves or their excessive reaction to psychological stress. They begin a long journey of sedatives, antispasmodics, and psychiatric medications, without anyone asking one simple question: What do you eat? The colon is a physical, tangible organ, one and a half meters long, operating according to clear physical and chemical laws. There is no such thing as a “nervous colon” that bloats on its own just because its owner is anxious or afraid.
Why Does the Colon Bloat? “Garbage,” Not Nerves
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, describes the bloated colon in the simplest and strongest terms: “He puts garbage into it.” He means foods that the digestive system cannot sufficiently digest: white flour and its products (bread, pasta, biscuits, pastries), dairy products (especially white cheese, sour milk, and yogurt), eggs in all forms, legumes (fava beans, lentils, chickpeas, beans), and raw leafy vegetables. These foods are either difficult to digest on their own, or cause gas and fermentation in the intestines, or remain in the colon for a long time, drying out, hardening, and causing constipation and bloating. The colon does not choose to bloat; it is forced to bloat by what is thrown into it. Changing food changes the condition of the colon within days.
Do Not Underestimate the Colon: “Just Because It’s Called a Colon Doesn’t Mean It Won’t Kill You”
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, strongly warns against underestimating the colon, considering it one of the biggest medical and popular errors. He states clearly: “Do not underestimate the colon… just because it’s called a colon doesn’t mean it won’t kill you… Don’t think the colon won’t kill you.” Many people consider the colon a marginal organ that can be tolerated if it bothers them, or that can be “removed” or treated with temporary painkillers. Dr. Diaa explains that a bloated, diseased colon does not limit its harm to the abdomen; it presses on the diaphragm, heart, and lungs, causes chronic inflammation throughout the body, and may lead to serious complications that can result in death. Underestimating the colon is underestimating a complex vital system whose collapse can bring down the entire body.
Attack on Doctors: Giving Fake Names Instead of Treating the Cause
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, harshly criticizes the culture of giving fake names to medical problems instead of searching for their causes. He says many doctors diagnose patients with “irritable bowel syndrome,” “spastic colon syndrome,” or “colonic hypersensitivity,” all of which are labels that describe symptoms without explaining the cause. The symptoms exist, and the patient is indeed suffering, but labeling the symptoms with a fancy name does not treat them. The real cause – food – is not investigated. The patient continues eating the same harmful foods, continues taking sedative medications, and their condition worsens over time. Dr. Diaa believes this type of medicine is not science but rather “marketing of names.”
The Colon Is Not a Marginal Organ That Can Be “Removed”
One of the most common phrases Dr. Diaa hears from his patients is: “That’s it, Doctor, I’m going to remove this colon” or “I’ll have surgery on it and be done with it.” Dr. Diaa responds firmly that whoever does not respect their colon will die from it, not the other way around. The colon is a vital organ that cannot be dispensed with. It is responsible for absorbing water and salts, storing waste until it is excreted, and is the home of the microbiome that affects digestion, immunity, and mood. You cannot “remove” the colon any more than you can “remove” the heart or liver. Treatment is not about removing the organ, but about understanding the cause of its disease and removing that cause. A healthy colon is an empty or nearly empty colon, not one filled with waste for days.
What Does “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” Mean to Those Who Label It?
Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi, may Allah have mercy on him, does not deny the relationship between the colon and the nervous system, but he rejects reducing the problem to this relationship alone. The colon connects to the brain via the vagus nerve and is affected by hormones and neurotransmitters such as serotonin. This is scientifically correct. But it is also correct that this relationship is bidirectional: the colon affects the brain just as the brain affects the colon. A patient suffering from a bloated colon for weeks or months will inevitably feel anxiety and depression, but this does not mean that anxiety and depression are the cause of the colon bloating. Confusing cause and effect is what misleads patients. The original cause is often food, and anxiety is a result, not a cause.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the Tayyibat System: How to Test for Yourself
The strongest test the Tayyibat System offers for diagnosing the cause of colon disorders is temporary abstinence from forbidden foods. The patient abstains from white flour, dairy, eggs, legumes, and raw vegetables for two to four weeks, limiting themselves to allowed foods in the green and yellow zones. The vast majority of patients notice a significant difference: bloating decreases, gas disappears, elimination becomes regular, and pain disappears. When they gradually return to forbidden foods, the symptoms return. This practical experiment is the strongest evidence that the problem is not in the colon’s “nerves,” but in the food thrown into it. No need for complex diagnoses or expensive medications, just simple observation and a change in diet.
Conclusion
Irritable bowel syndrome in the Tayyibat System is not a real diagnosis; it is a description of symptoms given by doctors who failed to find the cause. The colon is not “nervous” and does not bloat on its own. It bloats because its owner puts difficult-to-digest foods into it: white flour, dairy, eggs, legumes, and raw vegetables. These foods remain inside, fermenting, hardening, and causing bloating, constipation or diarrhea, and inflammation. The colon is a vital organ that cannot be underestimated, and whoever does not respect it may die from it. Instead of searching for sedative medications or fake diagnoses, one must look at food and change it. Temporary abstinence from forbidden foods is the practical test that reveals the truth.

Because it is a fake diagnosis that describes symptoms without explaining the cause. It suggests to the patient that the problem is in their nerves, while the real cause is often the difficult-to-digest food they throw into their colon.
It means foods the digestive system cannot sufficiently digest, which ferment in the colon: white flour, dairy, eggs, legumes, and raw vegetables. These foods remain inside for days, causing bloating and inflammation.
Yes, Dr. Diaa strongly warns against underestimating it, saying: “Don’t think the colon won’t kill you.” A bloated colon presses on the heart and lungs and causes chronic inflammation that may lead to serious complications.
Because they give fake names to the problem instead of searching for the real cause (food). The patient continues eating harmful foods and taking sedative medications, and their condition worsens without a real solution.
No, the colon is a vital organ that cannot be dispensed with. Treatment is not about removing the organ but about understanding the cause of its disease (food) and removing that cause. Whoever does not respect their colon will die from it, not the other way around.
The relationship is real (via the vagus nerve), but it is bidirectional. A bloated colon causes anxiety and depression, not always the other way around. Confusing cause and effect is what misleads patients.
By abstaining from forbidden foods (white flour, dairy, eggs, legumes, raw vegetables) for 2-4 weeks. Most patients notice significant improvement in bloating, pain, and elimination, with symptoms returning when they resume forbidden foods.
A healthy colon is an empty or nearly empty colon, where waste does not accumulate for days and undigested food does not ferment. A healthy colon does not bloat, does not cause pain, and does not press on neighboring organs.
